If you can't afford a house in Dublin, move!

Liamario

I have zero sympathy for anyone who can't get a place to live in Dublin.

L.Jenkins

Good to hear. With whom do you sympathise?

Roger Hassenforder

Pelvis

I have lots of sympathy for people who can only get a house in Mullingar.

Lol. I lived in Dublin. I have no desire to return.

Ireland is a small country so if you drive I personally can't see living an hour or hour and a half from your family being a massive problem

I heard they eat their young outside of Dublin but spit them out because they taste like s h it. That's what you get for inbreeding muckers.

I'm not trying to sell anything though. If you can't afford Dublin, move. It's that simple. It sucks, but that's the way it is.
People are acting like Dublin its an inescapable island in the middle of some vast ocean.

Less mouths to feeds, more homes for naive Dubs.

What about an hour or an hour and a half to work? That's the real issue, it's where probably about 30-35 % of the people of Ireland are employed. Nobody wants to commute for 3 hours a day.

I've got nothing. I'm not suggesting mullingar to be fair. I was suggesting any other county other than Dublin.

Is "Mullingar" a real place???

I thought it was made up to facilitate American tourists like the whole Darby O'Gill and the Little People type stuff .......

Seriously though, is it a real place or not? Does it actually exist??

My opinion is if you have any hint of being from the country you should be deported from Dublin to Connacht.

Boom...housing crisis like totes sorted goys.

I was born in Mullingar.
I don't live there anymore, haven't done in many years.
I went to a hen party in Mullingar last year, the town's a good laugh when everyone's hammered.
I was in Athlone too, that's a right spot.

Sorry, what's the question again?

mezzz

fill the liffey and the canals with concrete and build houses there

Wages in Dublin are higher - rents are higher
Wages in the country are lower- rents are lower

And let's chat about hap limits

Not one place for rent within the range anywhere

It really depends on the job. I'm in the legal industry now and the money is definitely better in Dublin. However I was a tradesman for nearly 10 years and most of my friends are still in the construction industry and they're all extremely well paid, all working in the Midlands area.

Dublin's class. There's coddle and Shamrock Rovers.

Please don't put coddle and rovers is the same sentence.

I like coddle

The only thing that drives me mad about this is when people have kids and they talk about their poor little kids being in hotels and them having a horrible childhood because of the state but then they go off and get pregnant again. If they were religious and married I'd understand and didn't believe in contraception I'd be fine about it but they come across that way.

The only people who think dublin is class are dubs and the odd traitor from Mullingar.

Point taken but are trades not paid at a standardized rate country wide?

Non-Dubs sneak onto Boards every so often. On d'internet you can't hear our their accents and see our their wellies and balin' twine belts. Shneaky out!

You could be chatting on a thread with non-Dubs and you wouldn't even know whoops, you wouldn't even know! :eek:

(Muahahahahaha!)

I got my balls disconnected two weeks after becoming homeless.

Get people out of Dublin to lower the house prices so that you can move there.

Won't work. Too obvious

Well if all the people who don't think it's class could just leave, then we'd all be happy.

Dublin. So class.

Jaysus,

Did you think that becoming homeless was going to lead to you drowning in gee from all the horny bitches throwing themselves at you due to your new status?


Maybe that's where I've been going wrong all these years!

Are you going to dig up Joe Dolan and reanimate him at the next full moon to crown him the Emperor of Ireland so that he can shift the capital to Mullingar?

OP, how was the last big traveller riot in Mullingar?

Alf Veedersane

Is it true that people in Mullingar have to shy in a buckeh?
